New naming convention in updates

What are these patches in the updates repo with names like “openSUSE-2012-172” or “openSUSE-2012-184?” Is this a new convention? How can I get the details in zypper?

Only the second one produced a result on my system:

Thanks. I hope this isn’t a change, I don’t want to query each patch to find out what I’m installing.

zypper lp

should describe

No, it doesn’t. It just displays the cryptic names along with category and status. This is going to be a pain to sort out.

The fifth one there is no info. Yast says it is the flash update.

Interestingly, I tabooed it, but yast wants to install it again. :-/

And wants to update things that I changed vendor :-/

It shows the descriptions what it is in 12.1 with the “zypper lp” but
not in 11.4, maybe worth a feature request to have that in 11.4 as well.

I locked flash + it’s kde4 partner
I don’t have any trouble with it trying to update.
